The concert is aimed at raising funds for the special education for indigent children with special needs at the foundations SPED (special education) center in Sagada, Mountain Province, and its soon to be opened SPED center in NorzagarayBulacan.

Sending a single child to school for a month costs Php 20,000, and day to day operations of each center amount to Php 50,000 per month.

Preceding the concert will be the exhibit Art Exceptional, a collection of never before seen works of exceptional individuals Juno Santos, Samantha Kaspar, Juno Santos and Vico Cham. Samantha Kaspar will also be launching her personally designed fragrances named “Aware”, “Inspire” and “Embrace”. “Love Inclusively” will happen on March 2, 2019 (Saturday), at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium of the RCBC Plaza. Donations will be accepted at the entrance.

Scientific fact: Women are more attracted to men with facial hair

Science says it. Men with facial hair are more attractive. A study in the 70s and two more recent ones conducted by Neave and Shields in 2008 and Dixson and Brooks in 2013 all came up with the same conclusion: Most women find men with a stubble or a five-o’clock shadow very, very attractive. Although the women’s perception of male attractiveness changed according to the amount and length of men’s facial hair, most women in the study found men with a moderate amount of facial hair to be the most attractive. Some women did prefer men with no facial hair, but to the majority, men with no facial hair were not very attractive and seemed the least likely romantic partners. Women perceived full bearded men to be aggressive, more mature and a bit too much to handle.
